Shane Watson Expresses Concern over Rohit Sharma’s Recent IPL Form
Indian captain Rohit Sharma is currently going through a poor form. In the current season of the Indian Premier League, he is seen struggling with the bat. The Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper has scored only one half-century in IPL 2023 so far. Former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson has created a sensation by giving a statement about Rohit’s recent poor form. After all, what has he said about Rohit Sharma? Let’s find out.
Mumbai Indians Struggle in IPL 2023 as Rohit Sharma Fails to Impress
It is known that Rohit’s Mumbai Paltan is in the eighth position on the points table. The five-time champions have lost four of their first seven matches this season. Fans believe that the Mumbai Indians team led by Rohit is unlikely to make it to the playoffs. Meanwhile, former Australia all-rounder Shane Watson believes that the Mumbai Indians captain’s performances in the world’s richest T20 league have not been special for several seasons
Mental Fatigue to Blame for Rohit Sharma’s Poor Form, Says Watson
“Controlling mental energy is a big challenge. International cricketers around the world play a lot of cricket, but Indian cricketers play cricket throughout the year without a break. Now that Rohit Sharma is also the captain of India, he has more responsibilities. If he is a little mentally tired, you can understand why,” said the Australian all-rounder.
Shane Watson also said that Rohit Sharma has not made much of an impact with the bat for Mumbai for a few seasons now.
Rohit Sharma’s Inconsistent Performances in the IPL
Have seen Rohit Sharma at his best, but he has been very inconsistent with the bat in the last four to five years of IPL. It is difficult to understand because when he is at his peak, he finds success against all the great bowlers in the world, irrespective of the conditions, but I don’t remember a single year in the last four to five years when he was playing well in the IPL.
